Coal mining and coal combustion in power plants produce several types of wastes The mining process itself produces waste coal or solid mining refuse which is a mixture of coal and rock The mining process also produces liquid coal waste which is then stored in impoundments Pollution control equipment used for coal combustion produces coal ash or fly ash as well as flue gas MINING and sister company IntelligenceMine‘s ranking of the world’s 50 largest mining companies based on market value continues to show an industry in recovery At the end of the first

Mining coal Coal miners use large machines to remove coal from the earth Many US coal deposits called coal beds or seams are near the earth s surface while others are deep undergroundModern mining methods allow coal miners to easily reach most of the nation s coal reserves and to produce about three times more coal in one hour than in Although the United States has the vast coal resource described in the previous chapter perhaps as much as 4 trillion tons the key issue for policy makers is the amount of coal that is economically recoverableThis is not a fixed quantity but depends on the geological resource the market price and the cost of mining The particular characteristics of the coal mining industry create unique
